Welcome to Palmer Woods, one of Detroit's premier historic neighborhoods. Characterized by diverse and engaged residents and architectural treasures, our historic enclave of about 300 homes is nestled west of Woodward Avenue and north of Seven Mile Road in a beautiful wooded, urban setting. On this site, learn about our community: the Palmer Woods Association, our history, services available to our neighborhood, news, events and more.

Children’s Events

The committee is always looking for family-friendly ideas and people to help plan events for our neighborhood chil-dren, grandchildren, and teens. Since it is our Centennial year, it is a great time to get involved. Please contact the Children’s Committee chair, Emily Moorhead at emily.backos@yahoo.com.

Children’s Concerts

A collaboration between the Creative Arts Collective and the Palmer Woods Association presents free concerts for children as part of its Palmer Woods Music in Homes concert series. In the video below, hear from some of our audience at the June 2014 concert featuring Kamau Kenyatta and Friends: Kamau Kenyatta, sax and piano; A.
